Huawei has officially released a microwave solution for FTTx to help operators to deploy gigabit-capable ultra-broadband over different forms of access media. The solution helps operators to leverage microwave links as well as existing fiber, copper and coaxial cables to expand Gigabit network coverage.
To support bandwidth requirements to support FTTx, Huawei combines a variety of innovative microwave technologies like large-capacity E-band and Super Dual Band (SDB) solutions to offer a transmission capacity ranging from 1 to 10 Gb/s.
The solution extends coverage by avoiding the difficulties of laying fibers, right-of-way (ROW) acquisition and as well as trenching. In terms of experience, Huawei said that the microwave radio air interfaces feature very low latency and a superior high-throughput mechanism. These advantages help improve the service experience, especially for high definition videos.
Huawei claims that the Huawei Microwave solution for FTTx has already been successfully deployed commercially in multiple countries such as Greece and China.
